Yes, the word is officially out: Selena Gomez is set to preside over our annual extravaganza honouring music artists around the world. The TV and movie star and ‘Love You Like a Love Song’ singer will be center stage at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on 6th November.

Hailing from Texas, Selena started acting at age 7, and landed a role in ‘Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over’ in 2003. Her Disney Channel show ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ debuted in 2007 and won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Program in 2009. Her first album ‘Kiss & Tell,’ was certified gold, as was her follow-up, ‘A Year Without Rain’, which yielded Selena two platinum singles: ‘Naturally’ and ‘Who Says’. She has landed three Billboard Club Play #1's.

Along with her acting and musical accomplishments, the 19-year-old also somehow finds the time to work on her fashion line, Dream Out Loud, and to serve as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. And with her already packed schedule, now she’s taking on another job-- hosting the EMAs!

"I'm so excited to be the host of the 2011 MTV EMA--it's a dream come true!" says Selena. "This is such a huge event that always recognizes the biggest stars in music from across the globe, so it's a real honour to be MC at this year's show."

And you won’t see her only on the air: Selena will be giving you the full EMA experience online with tweets, behind-the-scenes dish, and commentary. Luckily, we already know that she’s good at multitasking!
